Dr. Roxana Saldarriaga

Great prosthodontist

Dr. Roxana is caring, knowledgeable, and fair. She did an remarkable job on my complicated front tooth implant. Highly recommended to anyone who's looking for a dental implant specialist.

I had my first consult and treatment with Dr Saldarriaga yesterday and...just...wow! A heartfelt thanks for taking great time and care with my treatment goals. I feel very fortunate to have such a skilled prosthodontist!

Dr. Saldarriaga was originally recommended by Nobel (the maker of dental implants) because I had a very difficult removal of a failed crown glued to two implants. The company recommended only two dentists for my level of dental difficulty. After discussions with my regular dentist, I chose Dr. Saldarriaga. She was simply amazing. She explained why the crown failed and how she would rectify the situation. Most of the problem was due to over-cantilevering the crown. In total she put in three crowns to correct that portion of my mouth. Fast forward five years - the implant itself failed. So the original implant dentist not only had a failed crown but a failed implant post. She stated that the implant was pretty difficult (the original implant dentist thought the work would be so difficult that he had a special guide made at UBC to put in the post). To have the absolute best chance of success, she recommended that Dr. Long of her office should put in the post. I felt Dr. Long was very much at the top of his game. With very little down time and very little pain, I was pretty happy with his work. Dr. Long smiled when I mentioned that the original implant dentist required a guide. Dr. Long did not need a guide. Over my lifetime, I have most likely had well over 30 major dental procedures (not including the common fillings) - including crowns, implants and root canals. Without question (in my opinion), Dr. Saldarriaga is the very best crown dentist in Vancouver. As well, if I need any implants, Dr. Long is the man. Lumiere was the shining jewel of high end restaurants in Vancouver. These two are the Lumiere of implant dentistry.

My experience with Dr Roxana Saldarriaga was excellent. She repaired and replaced an inlay done by another dentist. She is a very caring, an excellent listener and does impeccable work. She has warm personality and is a great communicator. I am nervous at the dentist but she makes me feel calm. Her front desk person is also very helpful and warm. I highly recommend her.

I am so happy that I was recommended to Dr Saldarriaga by another dentist I was seeing. Her work is exceptional and she has a great deal of experience with even the most complicated of cases. She also truly cares about her patients and her personality makes long visits as enjoyable as possible. Her clinic has an in-house lab, which allows her to get the aesthetics (colour, shape, translucency) of the crowns and etc she is working with exactly as she wants them – rather than going back and forth with an external lab. I'm very pleased with the work I have had completed.

As a temp CDA I have to say that is one of the best working environments I have had the pleasure to work in. Such a lovely and talented team, and that includes those lovely lab specialist! On site btw! ??
